Laptop LCD HELP!

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
So I have an MSI 1013 barebone system that I built last summer. This evening when I go to use it I notice the backlight on the lcd isnt working (I can still see the display, but the backlight making it bright isnt on). When I tilt the screen a little more than half way towards closing it, the backlight comes on, but when I open it more it goes off.

So, basically I can use the laptop w/ a backlight when the screen is tilted closed, and not when it is fully open.


I opened it up and checked all the connections, they are all fine. I can't figure out why the light is cutting out when its open? Any ideas?

Sounds like the cable connection has come loose.

i would also check to see if the lid switch is jammed. if the lid switch is on a cable you can easily see if that is causing the issue by just unplugging it.
